Hm... difficult. Did you write both captions, or just translated one?

Plasma can be quite abstract to explain. :) Perhaps in can be worded
more "positively":
“There are many GUIs available which can be chosen depending on available
peripherals. KDE Plasma Workspaces is intended to enable the design of different GUIs.” (or maybe GUI paradigms?)
I'd need more context to get it right (the article that uses that image
for instance). Is it intention to convince others of Linux' flexibility
towards ubiquity?

                                                                                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Wenn man es eng sieht, ist der oben unterstrichene Teil nicht auf GUIs
an sich bezogen, sondern auf Plasma.

„Es gibt viele GBUn zwischen denen man auf Basis der vorhandenen
Peripheriegeräte wählen kann. KDE Plasma Workspaces ermöglicht den
Entwurf verschiedener Oberflächenkonzepte.“

Is it more about the difference between the classic desktop and, say,
the netbook-specific GUI? Or more about the philosophical difference
between KD “you can customise everything“ E and Gno “eat our smeg” me?

Nagel a'm Kopp, woa Junge.... echt jetz. :D
